This report shows that over time more American Indian/Alaska Native students have completed high school and gone on to college and that their attainment expectations have substantially increased in the past 20 years. Despite these gains, progress has been uneven and differences persist between American Indian/Alaska Native and White students on key indicators of educational performance. This report is organized into the following four sections: (1) Demographic Overview; (2) Preprimary, Elementary, and Secondary Education; (3) Postsecondary Education; (4) and Outcomes of Education. The data in this reports draws on many different surveys, including from the National Center for Education Statistics. In addition to data from the National Center for Education Statistics, this report draws from federal agencies and other organizations.
